Chapter 2551

Shi Chengwu is about the same age as everyone else, and he comes from a high-ranking official family, so there is no barrier between conversations.

However, Bai Letong was still a little curious about Shi Chengwu's growth experience, and took the initiative to ask: "Since Brother Shi is similar to me in age, it stands to reason that he has also stayed in Sanya for a long time, right? Why do I seem to be so interested in Brother Shi?"

No impression!”

Shi Chengwudao: "I have been to Sanya several times, but not to study abroad. I just went to Beijing with my father and returned to Zhejiang not long after that. I probably didn't have much chance to get to know you at that time."

"So you didn't complete your studies in Sanya?" Bai Letong asked in surprise.

Usually, senior Haihan officials stationed overseas send their children back to Sanya to study when they are young to ensure that the general education they receive will not be out of touch with the mainstream. After they have completed their studies, they will return to the place where their parents lived.

Some people stay in Sanya directly after finishing high school in order to find a good position in the capital, such as Ha Jianyi.

Shi Chengwu seems to be a rare exception. He has no experience of studying abroad in Sanya. It's no wonder that Bai Letong and others have no impression of him.

Shi Chengwu didn't have any taboos about this, and explained generously: "My mother is from Zhejiang, so I studied in academies in Ningbo, Hangzhou and other places in my early years, so it is convenient for me to serve my parents nearby."

Bai Letong said in astonishment: "Then what Brother Shi learned, isn't it all from those collections of classics and histories from the previous Ming Dynasty?"

Shi Chengwu shook his head slightly and said: "That's not true. What I have learned since childhood is still based on the teaching materials produced by our country, which is no different from everyone else. The purpose of the study tour in the former Meiji area is mainly to increase my knowledge.

Understand people’s livelihood.”

Even so, everyone didn't quite believe it. Even if they learned the same textbooks when they were young, the people who taught the second generation in Sanya were top figures from all walks of life. How could Shi Chengwu enjoy the same level of education in Zhejiang?

teaching conditions.

They didn't know that Shi Chengwu's mother Qu was also from an official family. When Shi Diwen got married, she might have taken a fancy to the influence of the other family's family in the local area. As the result of the marriage between the two parties, Shi Chengwu represented the two major local forces.

With common interests, we can enjoy all kinds of top-level resources, and education is no exception.

Although he was not arranged to return to Sanya to receive the orthodox Hai-Han education, what he learned was all-encompassing, far more than the Four Books and Five Classics. Moreover, Shi Chengwu had traveled among the countries in the East China Sea since he was a child, and his experience and knowledge were also

Far from being comparable to his peers who have been living in Sanya.

Among the people present, only Wang Anguo had known him earlier and had some understanding of Shi Chengwu's strength. But in this situation, there was no need to take the initiative to defend Shi Chengwu.

Shi Chengwu didn't want to waste too much saliva on this topic, so he took the initiative to change the topic and asked everyone if they had settled in Hangzhou and if there was anything else they needed help with.

After everyone chatted for a while, butler Mo Yuan came to the hall again and said that Shi Diwen had sent away the visitors and asked everyone to move to the banquet hall for dinner.

When Shi Diwen saw everyone arriving, he called them to sit down: "Today is a family banquet, and there are no outsiders here. Everyone can relax and not be too restrained."

Sure enough, Shi Diwen did not arrange any other guests. After letting his wife, concubines, and younger children come out to greet everyone, he asked them all to leave, leaving only the eldest son Shi Chengwu to dine with him.

Or maybe they were worried that Tao Hongfang and others would not be used to Jiangsu and Zhejiang flavors. This banquet was basically authentic Hainan flavor, and even the drinks were produced on Hainan Island. Everyone raised their glasses to thank Shi Diwen for his hospitality.

.

After drinking for three rounds, Shi Diwen put down his glass and said: "I rarely have so many young people come here as guests. Seeing you is like seeing myself more than twenty years ago. At that time, I and your

When my father's uncles first arrived in Sanya, it was just a deserted and remote fishing port, but at that time we had already begun to imagine how we would rule the world in a few years."

When everyone saw Shi Diwen talking about business, they quickly put down their wine glasses and chopsticks and listened respectfully to his speech.

Shi Diwen said: "It took our generation nearly thirty years to complete the goals we set when we arrived in Sanya. But after reaching this point, how our country will continue to develop is also important to us.

A new challenge. But as your parents, our generation’s bodies and energy have begun to age, and there are many new challenges that can only be left to you to complete. Do you have confidence in yourself?"

Wang Anguo responded: "Uncle Shi is too humble. You are in your prime, why are you aging? We and other descendants also need the continued guidance and guidance of our uncles before we can inherit the great cause in the future."

Shi Diwen smiled and said: "You don't need to comfort me. Speaking of which, I am already in my fifties and almost sixty. Many of your parents are older than me. How many years can they still work? Sooner or later,

I entrust the country to you!"

"But before that, you will inevitably be required to pass many tests and have enough ability to govern the country, so that our generation can hand over the country with peace of mind." Shi Diwen's eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces: "Your fathers will

When you are sent to Hangzhou to do things, it is not a test of your ability. If the things are done well, you can rest assured that you will be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future. If you do not do it well, you will probably have to go back and learn."

Shi Diwen revealed the real reason why everyone was sent to Hangzhou. The young people present were silent, each pondering the meaning behind his words.

Shi Diwen continued: "Changing dynasties is not unusual in Chinese history, but the emergence of our country, Haihan, is definitely an unprecedented change. Maybe you don't quite understand why now, but maybe it will take another ten generations or twenty.

Only in the next generation can we understand the great impact of this dynasty change on the whole world, but I hope you understand that you are all participants and shapers of history. What you do is just like your fathers, and it will be the same in the future.

It will be written into history books and passed down to future generations!"

Shi Diwen paused for a moment and continued: "You may not know what you should do or what you can do. As parents, our generation will continue to guide you in the way forward. But in a few years, we will

It’s up to you to lead this country forward. So from now on, I hope you can work hard and complete every task assigned to you. This is for yourselves and for the future of this country!"

Tao Hongfang responded solemnly: "Juniors must work hard and live up to the great trust!"

Everyone came to their senses and responded in unison, but in their hearts they were each wondering why Shi Diwen had to deliver such a solemn speech at the reception banquet.
